Water Ski Wonder Shellie Blum Visits Madame Perry's Salon 12/06 by Madame Perrys Salon | Entertainment Podcasts: Shellie Blum grew up in a family of swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. The water ski girI wonder was practicing her back-flip in March 1989 when she became the first female water-ski pro to be dragged by the neck through the water at 36 mph. Blum survived the Hangman's Fracture and a broken jaw. The thing Blum was better at than any other woman in the world, the one thing she loved deliriously, was over. She was left with a paralysis of a different sort: depression, bills and more grueling setbacks. Shellie Blum has written a fantastic memoir titled Waterski Girl Wonder, and I know you're going to love meeting her in Madame Perry's Salon. The theme music for Madame Perry's Salon, Miss E's Vacation, is composed and performed by Denton Perry. Get the new dates and times for Jennifer Perry's webinars, 'Promote This!

For too many years, Prudence Aldrich has been numbing the pain in her life with random sexual encounters. Her marriage to cold, self-centered Nick is, not surprisingly, on the rocks. But after several dangerous experiences with strangers, Prudence finally realizes that she needs therapy to stop her self-destructive behavior, and so she checks into the Serenity Hills rehab center. Prudence blames herself for her irresponsible behavior and is filled with self-loathing.

She's convinced she's totally at fault for Nick's manipulative attitude and that, with therapy, she can return their relationship to its idyllic beginning. However, her therapist and the other members of her rehab group see the person behind the pain. As Prudence learns more about herself and the reasons for her behavior—including startling revelations about her childhood—she begins to understand the basis for her lack of sexual self-respect. She also learns that she's not entirely to blame for the failure of her marriage.

With the positive reinforcement from everyone at Serenity Hills, Prudence learns not to define herself by her past. But moving forward would mean letting go of Nick for good—and Prudence isn't sure she can.

Bone Song, Bunny Goodjohn's first book of poetry was published in 2015. In this video the poem is read by actor Shane Stadium.Bone Song is about scars, about how childhood leaves its mark on us forever. Some of those marks become silvery with time, more shadow than scar. Some remain livid. Others, like oysters building pearl around the irritation of sand, form layers of padding against future damage.
